.TH AXCTL 8 "2 August 1996" Linux "Linux System Managers Manual"
.SH NAME
axctl \- Configure/Kill running AX.25 connections.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B axctl [-v] port dest src -window|-t1|-t2|-t3|-n2|-idle|-paclen|-kill [parm]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The
.B axctl
command is designed to be a multi-function command that allows miscellaneous
commands to be issued to the Linux AX.25 protocol layer for existing AX.25
connections. The connection is uniquely identified via the combination of
port, destination callsign and source callsign, with that information the
kernel is able to change the parameters, or abort the connection.
.LP
Many of the options are similar to those found in
.B axparms
and perform the same function. Only one parameter may be changed on each
invokation of
.B axctl.
